USSR 1941

  Chapter 785 Guess

Shulka did not dare to take this risk, that is, it may make Britain continue to be passive and even prevent the United States from joining the war... If the United States wants to open up a second front in Europe, it must use the United Kingdom as a pedal to land in France, and this does not Britain's agreement and coordination is obviously impossible.

Thinking of this, Shulka took the photo and found the location of Penamünde on the map, pretending to be contemplative and said: "Although we don't know what it is, but... Maybe we can make a reasonable guess about it, Ah Comrade Kadyevich!"

   "Of course!" Akadyevich replied: "The problem is that scientists don't even have reasonable guesses, or their guesses are not reasonable!"

   "Like what you guessed before?"

   "Almost!" Akadyevich said: "If it was developed by a secret scientific research base, it would not be as simple as a small aircraft, and most people think it is a small aircraft!"

   "But like you said... if it's a small aircraft, then it doesn't have room to carry gear and weapons!"

"Yes!"

   "But what if it's a weapon in itself?"

   "What do you mean?" Akadyevich looked at Shulka puzzled.

   "I have an idea, Comrade Akadyevich!" Shulka said: "It can fly, it can fly like a small plane!"

"certainly!"

   "We always thought it had to carry machine guns or aerial bombs!"

   "Isn't it?" Akadyevich asked rhetorically: "If there is no such thing, what is it good for?"

   "What if it was a bomb in itself?" Shulka replied.

   "Bomb?" Akadyevich looked at Shulka in surprise.

"Yes!" Shulka explained with the photo: "We know that if it is to carry machine guns and aerial bombs, let alone whether it has enough space and lift, in addition to installing a series of control system!"

   Akadyevich nodded in agreement.

This point has been analyzed by Sisoy and others, and this is where the scientists are puzzled: if it needs to be fueled, has a cockpit, must have at least one pilot, and the pilot is used to control the plane and the bomb Or machine gun systems...Soviet scientists couldn't figure out how it was possible to pack so much into such a small fuselage.

   "It won't fit that much!" Shulka said, "But if it were a bomb in itself, then all problems would be solved!"

   "You mean to say..."

   "Yes!" Shulka said: "All these things can be omitted, weapons, ammunition, targeting devices, control equipment... It just needs to be loaded with explosives, fly to the target, and explode!"

"That's right!" Akadyevich's eyes lit up instantly: "It's a bomb, my God, you gave a reasonable guess, Shulka! A bomb...everyone Didn't expect this!"

   But after thinking about it, Akadyevich asked again in puzzlement: "But it can fly in the sky, that is, it must be controlled by someone inside. Could it be...the Germans are training and developing this kind of suicide equipment?"

This kind of equipment that drives explosives and kills the target is not a rare thing in World War II. Italy developed the "human torpedo" and set a record in 1941. It severely damaged two British battleships, but this "human torpedo" "Operating torpedoes" is somewhat different from Japan's. It is divided into a carrier compartment and a detachable mine head. The crew can take the carrier compartment to leave before launching the mine head.

   Of course, there were inseparable "death squad"-style "human torpedoes" in the early days, which also shows how crazy the war was during World War II.

  So it is not surprising that Akadyevich would think so.

  Shuerka thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Although your statement is indeed possible, I don't think it will be so!"

   "What do you mean?" asked Akadyevich, not understanding what could have happened otherwise.

   "If it's just a 'suicide' small aircraft!" Shulka said: "The Germans don't need a secret research and development base to study it. So, I think it is likely to be unmanned!"

   "Unmanned?" Akadyevich became more and more frightened the more he heard it: "If there is no one, how can it fly..."

No wonder Akadyevich couldn't believe it. It was impossible for an aircraft to go straight to the target like a cannonball flying in the air. When it encountered air currents, strong winds, etc. in the air, it might change its direction or even plunge headfirst into the ground. Difficulty maintaining a steady flight until reaching the destination.

  Although Shulka knew what was going on, he thought that he should not say too much in this regard, otherwise, "knowing too much" would inevitably make people suspicious.

So Shulka shook his head and said: "I don't know, I think this is why the Germans need a secret scientific research base. They want to develop a bomb, which is like a small aircraft, and This small aircraft can maintain a stable flight without human operation! Of course, this is just a guess!"

Akadievich thought for a while, and then replied: "Although it is a guess, Shulka, this can be said to be the most reasonable guess! We think it is impossible, but maybe it is what the Germans are studying." thing."

Akadievich, who is the director of the Sixth Directorate of the National Security Agency, knows this best, because the Sixth Directorate is in charge of the scientific research center's counterintelligence and intelligence reconnaissance work. During the process, Akadievich I have seen many things that were originally considered "impossible" become reality one after another.

   After hesitating for a moment, Akadyevich hastened to say goodbye to Shulka.

"I have to go!" said Akadyevich. "I must contact our scientists and ask them if such a guess is possible! equipment!"

  Before he left, Akadyevich did not forget to thank Shulka: "You helped me again, Shulka! I will contact you again!"

Of course, Shulka knew that Akadyevich would contact him again, because the issue of the V1 missile was not over yet. When it was time for formal discussions, or when Soviet scientists were demonstrating it, Shulka proposed an idea. people should also be present.

  Although Shulka actually doesn’t like to participate in such meetings, in order to prevent some general directions or uncontrollable changes in “history”, Shulka can only reluctantly do what he wants.
